It's for everyday'ish drinking and I was going to get a few bottles so I don't want to spend a lot. Also I don't think the people I'm planning on sharing it with would notice the difference!
You won't go wrong with the Lindauer then. It's the best the new world has to offer in the sparkling wine stakes.
If you want something a bit more light and easy drinking (the complexity of the Special Select might be a bit much for the sort of drinker you describe), go for the Lindauer Brut NV. This is a bargain £8/bottle and is as fine an example of a light and fruity sparkler as you will get.
Of course, for the very best in non-champagne sparklers you're looking at something like a Nyetimber Premiere Cuvee (English), but this will set you back serious dough for a really good vintage.
We once mixed 1990 Dom Perignon with Red Bull. A most pleasant concoction.
I can completely vouch for that - not Dom Perignon - that would probably be sacrilege, but cheap and cheerful Veuve Clicquot. Not too much Red Bull or it's too sweet - go 80/20 Champers/RB and it's a lovely start to the evening.
